Hello tribesmen!
I just recently registered for the OkoumeFest Ultra Marathon. It's my first event and I've been pecking away at the EQUIPMENT CHECKLISTs. Everything seems pretty clear and things are falling into place.
My last remaining hurdle on the list seems to be the SPOT. After doing some research on them, it seems that about half the reviews I've read are giving them only one star. So....I'm trying to get away with spending as little as possible on the SPOT (hoping the next generation will be better??). There was mention that the tracking subscription was not needed (which should be cheaper, right?) for the OFUM, but I've been unable to see that anywhere on the SPOT website. Has anyone been able to use their's with the minimum registration? How?
Also, does anyone have any experience with any of the outfits that rent the SPOT?
Thanks!
Konk
